Ahoy! My internal hdds are at max with all I've been torrenting and I'm considering some type of Docking station for my desktop with several 10Tbs drives in them to allow me to store and backup my data for offline protection.

I was wondering if anyone had done any type of setup like this and if it's a reliable method for offline data storage. I'd also like it to have a RAID capability but I have software which can mirror drives to each other on startup/shutdown, etc. Also, I'd need it to have a USB-type connection for a USB SSD drive to pop-out & connect to my Smart TV for viewing.

An end goal would be to get a 3-2-1 setup but I can't find a reliable Cloud storage I'd trust with that much data except maybe Filen.

Any positive input about brands, drives, services, etc. would be most appreciated!

Thanks!

This is excellent news! I'm looking forward to viewing my current library on the Smart TV again. I've been watching YouTube vids on Jellyfin setup and it seems pretty straightforward.

I've seen a lot of the Sabrent drive bays on Amazon and wondered if there were any good. They look exactly like what I'm looking for. I've just got to be care of ports and knowing what I have and need. Also, maybe not your level of Raid as I want, at least, one drive for backup to be able to take offsite for storage.

Thank you for you response and input!
